Here's how to watch the White House Correspondents Dinner -- without Trump

The White House Correspondents Dinner will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2017, and will be broadcast on C-SPAN. The dinner brings together the press corps, celebrities and politicians together to celebrate the First Amendment.

President Trump will not be attending. It is his 100th day in office, and he is in Harrisburg for a rally at the Farm Show Arena. Comedian Hasan Minhaj is hosting the event.

Trump attended the dinner in 2011 -- he was skewered for falsely asserting that then-President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

C-SPAN will broadcast the dinner starting at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. You can also livestream it here, but you need to sign in using your cable provider.

Saturday evening's red carpet at the White House featured boldface names largely from the world of journalism and government, the Associated Press reported. Among the guests are longtime Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, according to the AP. With Trump's absence, WHCA dinner organizers say they're putting the focus on the First Amendment and the role of the press in a democracy.
